Byron Bay is still a big hippie at heart. A little more crowded than it used to be, but still a refreshing getaway - particularly on Valentine's Day. At the time, I wasn't a big believer in the holiday, but found Byron a perfect answer to my dilemma as a girlfriend - Byron was a nice day trip from Brisbane and we had a great day, but not a single nauseating Cupid or mention of Valentine's Day in the area. Perfect!

Byron Bay is famous up and down the East Coast of Australia for a reason : It's laid back, it's beautiful and it's a place we'd all secretly like to call home.

Byron Bay is just so pretty I wanted to share it. A pity I don't have any photos of the streets of Byron, which are responsible for Byron's character and irresistible charm. Hopefully I'll be back for a visit in Spring.
